After talking to Mike about my progress in 502, it was suggested that I make my LinkedIn about info directed more about my aspirations and what softwares I can work in, rather than my qualifications. This is the main information that animation companies will look for and be drawn to.
He also suggested that I send off the messages to the professionals that I had planned to contact. I ended up sending 6 out of the 12, and I want to research more in to the industry in this next week so that I can send 6 more on the Monday afterwards.
I did get in to contact with six professionals and ended up with responses from two of them, with a response from a third that I was really hoping for a response from a week or so later.
I have learnt that possibly contacting larger companies is not the best through Instagram and should be done through finding their emails or possibly a single member of the company. Ayesha was telling me about her experiences contacting me, and I think that maybe my formal approach was a little too strong and could have been a bit pushy. An informal approach works just as well. I also think that twitter works a lot better than Instagram, but I am unfamiliar with how Twitter work, and I have struggled to find any new professionals. I also don't have much of a following and no posts on Twitter.
